Abstract
The Kitchen Task Assessment (KTA) is a functional measure that records
the level of cognitive support required by a person with Senile Dementia
of the Alzheimer's Type (SDAT) to complete a cooking task successfully.
The results allow the clinician to help caregivers understand the
level of support the impaired person needs to perform daily living
tasks. This paper presents the validity and internal consistency
of the KTA. Data were collected from 106 persons diagnosed with SDAT.
Construct validity was established by examining the relationship
between subjects' performance on the KTA and standard neuropsychological
measures.
